Ingredients:
- 1 liter milk (3.5% fat)
- Just under 1 cup of flour (108g)
- 7 tablespoons sugar (100g)
- 2 tablespoons starch (corn or wheat)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- For coating: Sufficient coconut flakes, crushed lotus biscuits, or crushed hazelnuts
- For the chocolate topping: 25g dark chocolate melted in 7 tablespoons of cream (adjust the cream quantity based on thickness)
Instructions:
- Whisk milk, flour, sugar, and starch in a pot until smooth. Cook over medium heat, constantly stirring to prevent lumps and sticking, until it thickens into a pudding consistency.
- When thickened, remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla until fully melted and combined.
- Rinse the insides of glasses with cold water and pour out the excess. Divide the pudding among the glasses and let cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-5 hours, preferably overnight.
- Once set, gently press the edges of the pudding to introduce air, then invert and shake the glasses to release the pudding.
- Slice the pudding, roll in coconut flakes or crushed nuts, decorate as desired, and serve with the chocolate topping.
